(From Skincancer.com)
The popularity of self-tanning products is surging, showing that Americans are becoming aware of the dangers of tanning. They're putting their money where their skin is. Self-tanning products, or sunless tanning lotions, work by temporarily dying the top layer of the skin. The color slowly fades as the skin cells slough off, and usually disappear within a week unless the lotion has been reapplied. That's a lot more healthful than a suntan, however, because while suntans also start fading after a few days, the harm done to the skin is permanent. Getting a suntan breaks down the DNA in skin cells, but using self-tanners causes no such damage. At worst, sunless tanning products present a minimal risk of irritant or allergic reactions. Recent improvements in these sunless products have made the demand skyrocket. "They're easier to use than ever, the color appears more natural, and some lotions even contain sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF)," says Stanley B. Levy, MD, adjunct clinical professor of dermatology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill. But just because your skin is darker doesn't mean you're protected from UV rays. DHA in self-tanning lotions - the ingredient that darkens the skin - does offer some protection, equivalent to an SPF of about 2 to 4. That's barely any protection at all. When shopping for a self-tanner, make sure to look for one that has an SPF of at least 15. "And remember, even if the lotion contains such a sunscreen, the protection lasts only a couple of hours, not for the duration of the color change," notes Dr. Levy. "After two hours in the sun at most, you should put on more sunscreen." Sunless tanning lotions come in light, medium, and dark tones. People with dry skin can buy brands with emollients or humectants added for softness and moisture, while people with oily skin may find that gel or alcohol-based products work better. And recently, ingredients such as vitamins, herbal extracts, antioxidants, and alpha-hydroxy acids are being added to some products in an effort to expand their benefits. A last caution from The Skin Cancer Foundation: Don't be misled when products sound like self-tanning lotions - "Tanning amplifiers," "tan accelerators," "tanning promoters," "tanning enhancers," and worst of all, "tanning pills." Many of the products interact with the sun to create the tan, so they actually end up accentuating the damage done to the skin. The pills - which are commercially banned in the U.S. - are the worst. They contain the carotenoid chemical canthaxanthin (the same pigment found in carrots), and have been associated with hepatitis and urticaria, a condition that involves relentless itching and skin eruptions. "Read the ingredients on the label of all these products carefully," says Dr. Levy. "Unless their active ingredient is DHA, they're not bona fide sunless tanners, and they could very well be harmful for your skin."
- If I have freckles, light skin, or varicose veins, will airbrushing hide them?
Yes, airbrush tanning will help to a certain degree and may help to conceal them. It provides a less noticeable appearance than without tanning. With a lighter skin tone, your color will depend on how the DHA reacts with the proteins in your skin.
- If I don't like my new tan, how can I take it off?
Shower immediately and this will remove your tan.
- What kind of results can I expect?
Depending on you skin tone, will depend on how dark or light your skin will look. Krome Tan' blend works very well with your natural skin tones in giving you a natural, even, golden tan.
* Ask about our extra deep bronzing drops.
- How long will this last?
Skin cells are constantly exfoliating. Use Krome Tan' moisturizer every time after you shower to prolong the life of your tan. Results can still be seen up to 7 days after application.
- How does the DHA solution make your skin tan?
The DHA solution causes the proteins in the outside layer of your skin to react with the oxygen in the air, resulting in a bronzing effect. This is a natural chemical reaction and enhancement that the DHA develops with your skin's amino acids.
- What size room do I need?
For your salon or at home a 5 x 5 space should be sufficient. A fan and a blow dryer on a cool setting is recommended for quicker drying after your application.
- What is your product made of?
It is proprietary, however of all the products that are out there ours does not dry out your skin like other products, nor does it smell. You will not be disappointed.
